Here are the basics:

• Start by clicking one of the topics in the Main Menu. To learn about each of the icons in the Main Menu, see the topic All About the Main Menu of the Genealogy "How-To" Guide.

• You can move through the Genealogy "How-To" Guide by clicking the colored, underlined words. They take you to other pages containing related information. If you do not have a color monitor, you will only see the underlining, not the coloring. In some places, there are also buttons that you can click to go to other pages.

• When a page contains more information than will fit on the screen, drag the scroll box on the right side of the screen to move through the page.

• The buttons described below will also be useful when you are looking through the Genealogy "How-To" Guide.
